Mikel Arteta's own Arsenal £18m Yaya Toure given perfect chance to be the Thomas Partey solution

There will be a lot of pressure on Albert Sambi Lokonga for Arsenal in the final stretch of the season after the injury suffered to Thomas Partey. The Ghanaian damaged his thigh in the Gunners’ 3-0 defeat against Crystal on Monday evening, which will rule him out for the majority of the final weeks of the season.

However, it is not just Arsenal fans who will be having high expectations of him, but also former Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany. The current Anderlecht manager sang his praises for the Belgian midfielder towards the start of the season.

With this period being the most critical in Sambi Lokonga’s career, he has an excellent chance to prove why he received heaps of praise from Kompany. It will also give him the opportunity to stamp his marker on Mikel Arteta’s side ahead of next season.
